Zara had rxed slightly. Mnie nodded in response and followed her to the cafe,


    “Go ahead,” Zara said, ncing at the time before focusing her attention on Mnie.


    Seeing Zara’s serious demeanor, Seraphine Odair, who had been following her, immediately took out a notebook. She also looked at Mnie attentively, “Miss Smith, please tell us the specifics of the


    situation.”


    Mnie appeared solemn as she lowered her gaze. She carefully organized her thoughts before articting the events to Zara in the clearest possible terms.


    After she finished, she paused briefly and added, “Miss Henson, I have all the evidence, and everything I’ve said is true.”


    Zara looked up, scrutinizing Mnie. “If your evidence is solid, why do you need me? If what you say is true, the oue of the case would be the same no matter who represents you,”


    “Because the opposingwyer is Luther Laing,” Mnie replied without hesitation, her gaze clear and bright. “He’s best known for overturning cases. I can’t take the risk.”


    Zara remained silent, observing Mnie closely. Her gaze was sharp and prating as if she did not fully believe what Mnie was saying.


    Mnie was nervous, twisting her fingers subtly. As she had said, she could not afford to take any risks. This was her only chance. She straightened her back, enduring Zara’s scrutiny.


    Zara was as serious and stern as her reputation suggested. She showed no emotion, and she spoke and acted with a sense of urgency.


    Mnie pursed her lips and said, “Miss Henson, I’ll agree to any conditions you set as long as you’re willing to help me with thiswsuit.”


    Her gaze was sincere, carrying a subtle plea and anticipation that was not easily discernibie. Zara looked at her for quite some time before finally saying, “Bring the case materials to thew firm at 2. 10 pm today. No dys.”


    With that, she got up and left. Her movements were swift and efficient.


    “Miss Henson hates people whock punctuality. You’d better hurry back and prepare,” Seraphine reminded Mnie softly before leaving.


    It was only then that Mnie realized what she needed to do. However, Zara and Seraphine were already gone. She sat down where she was for a moment more before quickly getting up.


    The case materials were still at the vi. She needed to go back to retrieve them. Navair Law Firm was located in the southeast of the city, opposite her current location. After making the detour to the vi, it was already two by the time she arrived at thew firm.

    Yvonne was apanying her. When Mnie returned to the vi, Yvonne was in the living room ying games. Knowing that Mnie was in a hurry, she offered to drive her there.


    Fortunately, after reviewing the materials, it did not take long for Zara to agree. She immediately instructed Mnie to proceed with the formalities.


    Mnie’s heart finally settled down a bit. Yvonne curiously asked Seraphine, who was leading the way, “Is Miss Henson usually this easy to talk to? I thought she would definitely find an excuse to decline.”


    Seraphine replied, “It’s probably because of Luther Laing, She’s been wanting to go up against him.”


    Mnie did not care for Zara’s reason for taking on the case as long as she was willing to handle the


    After dealing with the procedures at thew firm, Mnie and Yvonne left as they let out sighs of


    relief.


    “Do you feel more relieved now that you’ve met Miss Henson?” Yvonne smiled and asked. However, before Mnie could respond, she received a call from Stephen.


    “Dn triedmitting suicide and has been taken to the hospital.”


    Mnie was shocked, her phone almost slipping from her hand. Thankfully Yvonne was there to


    steady her.


    When they arrived at the hospital, Stephen and several policemen were already there. Seeing Mnie approaching, Stephen’s expression was troubled as he said, “Mel, listen to me. You need to prepare yourself mentally.


    “Dn might’ve had a mental breakdown. They’re still conducting tests, but you-”
